By analyzing these data points, we gain insights into website usage, which helps us optimize your experience and improve our offerings.
For purchases and transactions, we may collect payment information to process your order. This could include billing details and credit card information.

How Do We Collect Information?
We collect information from you through a variety of methods, designed to make our interactions seamless and to enhance your experience with Green Horizon Landscaping & Design. Primarily, we collect information directly from you when you engage with our website by filling out forms, reaching out via our contact page, scheduling an estimate, or subscribing to our newsletter. This allows us to gather essential details needed to communicate effectively and provide the specific services or information you request.
In addition to the information you provide directly, our website also utilizes tracking technologies, such as cookies and similar tools, to collect data automatically. These tools monitor your activity on our site, helping us understand how visitors interact with our pages, identify patterns in usage, and ultimately improve your experience. Cookies and tracking technologies allow us to tailor our content and make your visits to our website more efficient and enjoyable.

Why Do We Collect Personal Information?
At Green Horizon Landscaping & Design, we collect your personal information to support and improve every aspect of our interaction with you, enhancing the quality and personalization of our services. By gathering your personal details, we ensure that our team can seamlessly deliver the services you need, customize offerings to suit your specific preferences, and provide accurate, timely assistance whenever required.
One of the primary reasons for collecting your information is to provide and improve our services. Each piece of data helps us understand your landscaping needs better, allowing us to tailor our solutions to fit your requirements more precisely. Whether you are booking a service, arranging a consultation, or requesting a quote, your personal information helps us deliver these services smoothly and ensures that we maintain the high standards of excellence our clients expect. By analyzing our customers’ feedback and preferences over time, we also learn how to make strategic improvements to our offerings, introduce new services, and enhance existing ones—all with your satisfaction in mind.
Your information also plays an essential role in customer support. Landscaping projects often require follow-up communications, consultations, and sometimes further adjustments based on feedback. Collecting your contact details enables our team to respond to any inquiries, requests, or challenges you may face during or after your service. By having easy access to your contact history and service records, we are equipped to assist you efficiently and provide a smoother, more personalized customer support experience.
In addition, we use personal information to communicate with you effectively. We may reach out to keep you updated on the status of your service, notify you of any changes or adjustments, and ensure that you’re informed every step of the way. From time to time, we may also contact you with promotional messages or special offers that might be relevant to you, provided that you have opted to receive such communications. These communications could include exclusive discounts, seasonal offers, or new services that may interest you, helping you get the most value out of our services. Of course, we respect your privacy preferences, and you can choose to opt-out of promotional messaging at any time.
Lastly, it is essential that we collect your information to comply with legal and regulatory requirements. In certain cases, storing or using specific data points is necessary for us to meet regulatory guidelines, maintain proper records, and protect our business rights. This ensures that our practices adhere to industry standards and legal requirements, safeguarding both your rights and ours in the process. We are committed to handling your data responsibly and only collecting, storing, and using it in ways that are consistent with legal obligations and our privacy principles.
In summary, every piece of information we collect serves a purpose—whether it’s to improve our service delivery, provide responsive support, facilitate meaningful communication, or uphold legal standards. Our commitment to protecting your privacy is at the core of how we manage your data, and we use it solely to enhance your experience with Green Horizon Landscaping & Design.
How Do We Store, Use, Share, and Disclose Information?
At Green Horizon Landscaping & Design, we are committed to protecting your personal information through secure storage, responsible use, limited sharing, and, when necessary, legally compliant disclosure. Each stage of handling your information—from the moment it is collected to the moment it is used, shared, or stored—follows strict protocols designed to protect your privacy.
Storage
All personal information that we collect is stored securely on servers managed by our website hosting provider, Wix. These servers are safeguarded by robust firewalls and other advanced security measures to prevent unauthorized access and ensure the integrity of your data. Wix adheres to industry-leading security standards and routinely monitors its systems to detect and mitigate potential security threats. By leveraging Wix’s secure infrastructure, we ensure that your information is stored in a controlled environment, protected against unauthorized access, alteration, or misuse.
Use
We use your information solely for purposes related to delivering, improving, and personalizing our services. This includes processing bookings, providing service-related updates, and communicating important information about your landscaping projects. Your data allows us to tailor our services to your specific preferences, ensuring that each interaction with Green Horizon Landscaping & Design is as efficient and enjoyable as possible. Additionally, we may use collected data to enhance our website’s functionality, analyze site performance, and identify areas for improvement. Any usage of your personal information is conducted with your needs in mind, ensuring that it serves only to benefit and enhance your experience with us.
Sharing
We respect your privacy and, therefore, do not sell or rent your personal information to any third party. We may, however, share specific pieces of your information with trusted third-party providers who assist us in operating our business. These providers may include payment processors, analytics services, and customer support platforms. Any third party we engage is carefully vetted to ensure that they adhere to privacy and security standards equivalent to our own. Furthermore, these third parties are only granted access to the specific data necessary to fulfill their services, and they are contractually prohibited from using your information for any purpose outside of our operations. By limiting information sharing strictly to operational needs, we maintain a controlled environment that prioritizes your privacy and security.
Disclosure
In certain situations, we may be required to disclose your personal information to comply with legal obligations, enforce our rights, or prevent potential fraud. For example, if we receive a lawful request from a governmental authority or a court order, we may be compelled to provide the requested information. Additionally, we may disclose information if it is necessary to protect our legal rights or those of our users, or to investigate or prevent fraud, security breaches, or other harmful activities. We handle any disclosure requests with the utmost care and evaluate each on a case-by-case basis to ensure compliance with applicable laws and regulations while safeguarding your privacy.
In summary, the storage, use, sharing, and disclosure of your information are carefully controlled processes that we implement with a strong commitment to protecting your privacy. Our practices prioritize transparency and are designed to give you confidence in how your data is managed at Green Horizon Landscaping & Design.

Participating in these surveys is completely voluntary, and we only request input when it is genuinely intended to enhance the experience we provide.
By keeping these communication practices straightforward and respectful, we aim to provide you with relevant information without overwhelming your inbox. You remain in control of how we interact, with the freedom to adjust your communication preferences as you see fit.
